Analysis
A Texas Observer article questioned Lucio's legal representation of Corplan Corrections, an Argyle-based prison development company that the publication called "scandal-plagued." Lucio is representing Corplan in its bid to build an immigration family detention center in Weslaco, but he did not file or sponsor legislation to expedite this facility.
